The Drew Israelsen Family

My little baby Lena is turning 4 today. It is crazy how time flies! She adds so much to our family and love to have her around. She keeps me on my toes. She loves all types of music and dancing and LOVES playing barbies and babies. I love you Lena...HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas!!! There is nothing like a visit from Santa!(and this happens to be my favorite Santa in the whole world!!) Love you all and be safe in your travels!

One of our favorite holiday traditions is to decorate a tree on thanksgiving morning for Pa and meet Ma to delivery the tree and have a visit. We were lucky enough this year to have Uncle Chad go along. The kids know when we drive by there and they will always wave to grandpa and say hi. They have really enjoyed going by and seeing the lights on the tree at night. I think everyone needs to make a habit of a quick visit once in a while it creates a great time to share memories about him with each other and pass the memories onto the kids!!!!

Robert lost two teeth in the past week and was so excited about it!!! The second one he even pulled by himself. He was so funny when he lost them he had to call all his grandma's and grandpa's and of course aunt Jeana and Uncle Ron. He had a great time at the dollar store spending his earnings and told me that if he pulled all his teeth out he would have ALOT of money to spend.

It's been a while since I updated and it is pretty sad I am just getting to Rob's Birthday and Halloween. I can't beleive my baby boy is already 6!!! He loves school and is doing really well in it. The kids got TONS of Halloween candy and Lena absolutely loved it. Hopefully I will get back to updating more often!

Grandma Taylor once again held her tea party for the girls. They are supposed to bring a dress to wear to the party so this year I dug through my old stuff and found this old easter dress of mine for Lena to wear. She loved it and I think my mom loved seeing her in it!

This is Lena's new Greggy Girl outfit that my friend sent to me for her. She loved getting a package in the mail just for her and Chel sent her a bunch of little extras. What a lucky girl!

A friendly game of kick ball!

MINI ME!!

We had the annual Hale family get together with some fun games camping and boating! I love spending time with all of you and hope you all had as much fun as we did!!!

We had the chance to go boating with Matt, Jen and Abby. Thanks guys we had a great time!

We celebrated the 4th last night with dutch oven dinner and fireworks everyone seemed to have a great time and it was good getting together with my family! Happy 4th of July!

We went camping with our neighbors last weekend and had a great time. Rob did his usually climbing on everything and anything and loved every minute of it. Lena loved wondering around and exploring everything new that she had never seen before and Drew and I enjoyed each other and just relaxing by the fire! Hopefully we will have many more camping adventures this summer!
